Joanie;

I am wondering why you did not have any chemo? It seems to be that with a problem getting clean margins chemo would have been useful as a sort of mop up. Also, I would expect anyone with her2+ disease to get herceptin for a period of time. My situation is not the same as yours but chemo coupled with herceptin, radiation and then arimidex would seem to me to be pretty standard. Others who have a more similar situation can comment better perhaps. Having said all this as a two and one half year survivor your treatment seems to be working well. Wishing all the very best,

Cathy
